Utilizing Remnants for Christmas Gifts
WE can all look back to the days
when the piece bag or remnant
box would yield no more prom
ising Christmas harvest than a few
h'raps for pincushions, sachets and sim
ilar ornamental. If not always usful. Rifts.
Today the Christmas fad is for practical
things, however dainty, and the gift
maker can do wonders with leftovers.
First, here Is a good idea for a cor
set cover that will not take much time.
You may have a three-o,uarter length
of dotted Swiss, checked dimity or other
white fabric left from a Summer blouse
or dress. It Is just the thing to use for
one of those two-piece corset covers with
a single ream down the back. Cut it to
tho bust and waist measurement of your
S'.rl friend, but without any skirt or tails
piece. Finish it around the bottom with
lace or embroidery beading. At the top
finish with insertion, then beading, then
edging. Now to give the effect of hand
work on the left side right over the
In art. you know, feather-stitch a circle
in white mercerized floss, say two and
a half Inches in diameter. Inside write
your friend's Christian name in distinct
li tters, and outline stitch this with the
white floss. Run white or fWy pale blue,
pink or lavender ribbons through the
beadinjr and you have a hand-made gift,
provided, of course, that you do the
learning, hemming and. lace sewing all
by hand, as the French do.
A sirl who found three different scraps
of wash fabrics In her remnant box
bouKlit a bolt each of inexpensive in
sertion and eliding for 70 cents, some
beading at 45 cents a bolt and ribbon
at a sale for 1 cents. Her three lovely
gifts cost her $1.36 and made a good
appearance.
Another lovely personal gift Is neck
wear, and here the remnant box will
prove useful. If you have any sort of
soft, glistening silk, particularly mes
saline, cut it into either straight or bias
pieces as you would for folds, two Inches
or a trifle less In width. Make first a
hand to lit snugly around the neck; then
several ends of various lengths. Finish
two of these ends with tiny rosettes of
the silk, the third with a scrap of fringe
if you can match the silk, or a tassel.
Make a smart little bow with which to
fasten the ends to the collarette, two
loops not over an inch long, and you
have a pretty cravat that any girl friend
will like.
r If you have a length of velvet rib
bon left from trimming a dress, utilize
that, finishing the ends with bullion
fringe, balls or ornaments which you
can pick up very cheaply on bargain
square. A stunning combination is
golden brown with gold bullion. Blue
of a rich shade with silver bullion Is
also good. Again you can finish the
ends of your cravat with scraps of lace
and here Is a fine way to use up lengths
of lace from six to ten inches which
you think are useless.
If your mother or grandmother has a
piece of old-fashioned brocade of any
size you can give your dearest girl
friend an ideal Christmas gift, a vest.
The pattern you can buy at any depart
ment store. The back of the vest you
can make of any good lining material
percallne. wash flannel, etc. or you can
simply make the vest fronts to tack in
a coat suit. A three-quarter length of
brocade or fancy silk will make the
vest, which must be interlined, stitched
carefully by machine for a finish and
topped off by smart buttons.
Another lovely sift which mother can
make for daughter or aunty for niece
1 a collarette or ruff in which a strip
of apparently useless fur will come in
finely. V'e will say you have a narrow
strip of mink fur less than half a yard
In length. Get the exact measurement
of the young girl's neck, for the new
ruffs fit snugly. Make a double" or rose
pleating of silk in a color that com
bines well with the mink fur. such as
brown, hunter's green, a rich blue or
the new Tame color if the girl can wear
that siiade. Run tho strip of fur through
the center of this pleating and finish
with a very smart, bow 1. e., with short
)iHps and ends, or, better still, an old
fashioned clasp. If such you have in
your button box. Remember that dull,
old gold and dull silver clasps are very
smart this year. Any- girl who receives
such a gift will be delighted, and it will
afford real throat-protection. Some of
the combinations of fur and silk shown
in the shops are strips of dark grey
squirrel or chinchilla with the new
flame-colored silk and with coral pink.
Remember that the new coral 1a the hue
of real coral beads, not an old-rose
shade. Another pretty combination Is
an ermine strip with Gobelin blue, or
sage tea green. The strip of fur should
be about three inches wide and a yard
of 5s-cent messaline will make the nich
ing. Bits of maline with an artificial flow
er and some leaves can be wrought into
Some Frock Fashions for Holiday Functions
THE girl who cannot boas.t of a
new frock for- the Christmas
dance or house-party or after
noon tea feels that there is a shortage
in holiday cheer. Perhaps that is why
dressmakers are told, along about the
middle of November: "Here Is the ma
terial for my new dress, but I'd Just as
soon It was not finished until just be
fore Christmas. I do love something
fresh and crisp for Christmas w:eek."
Indeed new things are essential for
the holiday week, for then hostesses vie
with each other for "days," dinners and
dances, and before the New Year bells
ring, a woman's wardrobe shows the
strain.
From grandma to babyklns. every
one Is getting the correct holiday at
tire. This is not easy to define In a
few words, but generally speaking It Is
shimmery and clinging. Some lovely
new fabrics have come in with the late
season, not the least important of which
Is the satin finished cashmere which at
a distance cannot be told from Direc
tolre satin and which is much more
supple and warm. It costs, generally
speaking. $2 to $2.50 a yard, is about
43 or 45 inches wide, has a wondrous
sheen and Is no heavier than the old
fashioned lightweight cashmere. But
how It does drape ami cling. Frankly,
I prefer it to satin at the same price
in a narrower width. And for house
dresses It is infinitely superior to even
the lightest weights of the new Dlrec-
toire broadcloths. '
It comes in all the new colors, Cataw
ba. London smoke, wistaria and the lat
est shades of blue. For trimming, eith
er the new passementris with the color
of the cashmere predominating and
touches of more delicate coloring and
gold or copper tints, or laces overlaid
with colored embroidery are preferred.
These cashmeres can be used to great
advantage for evening coats in gray-Ish-hlues.
coral-pink, flame color, ca
tawba and delicate gray or mode. They
should be trimmed with lace, or em
lovely coiffure ornaments. A resource
ful girl searched her remnant box and
evolved a lovely coronet for her elderly
aunt. Soft grey maline she twisted Into
a band ro encircle the coiffure. Then
she made a rosette of the remaining
maline, and frosted It with tiny steel
beads. A striking steel button, also from
the remnant box, filled In the heart of
EMPIRE DANCING FROCK
the rosette, and from the rosette rose
a short but graceful ostrich feather, once
white, now dyed grey. The girl washed
the plume, dyed it grey, dried it by
shaking It over a radiator, and, behold:
a hair ornament made from the remnant
box for nothing which would have cost
several dollars at a shop. . Pink coronet
effects in maline. with a rosette or loops
of the maline and a delicate French rose
In the center with perhaps a few frosted
leaves, can be evolved from very little
material. If frosted leaves are used then
broidered bandings or braid. A charm
ing example of their use for an even
ing coat Is shown In Illustration A.
Here you have a coral-pink satin fin
ished cashmere four and one-half
yards in all lined with a soft gray
messaline and interlined with wash
flannel. The trimmings consists of
coral-pink velvet bands braided with
gold, and gold bullion cords and tassels.
The buttons are of the cloth.
Another example of the use of this
fabric will be found in Figure B, a
young girl s house gown of blue satin
finished cashmere combined with silver
braid. The braid bands for finishing
the Jumper and sleeves are of heavy
satin in precisely the same shade as the
cloth, with sliver braid. The bow and
girdle are of the self tone satin, but
the guimpe 1s of figured net, picked out
with tiny silver beads.
Incidentally, beaded nets and laces
are the fad of the moment. Tucked net
of the plainest sort. lightly spangled
with tin?- gold, sliver or, steel beads
costs $4.50 a yard, but arry nimble fin
gered woman can do this spangling
herself on net that will cost no more
than 90 cents a yard.
When it comes to evening frocks, of
which figure C is a dainty model,
metallic or Jeweled effects are greatly
In evidence. The model is of frosty
green messaline trimmed round the
skirt with bias folds and tiny tucks. The
shirred bodice is outlined-by a lace in
sertion embroidered with seed pearls
wnicn appears also as a finish for the
very short sleeves. The shirred and
draped upper-sleeve Is finished with
small pearl ornaments and the tucker
of the bodice is of chiffon cloth which
should also be used for the sash.
A novelty In very smart and dressy
evening gowns Is the difference be
tween the two sleeves. One may be of
the fabric used In the dress and an
other of chiffon cloth or lace or net.
One stunning model showed the right
sleeve of the chiffon cloth in mous

I would say to every girl who wants
to make Inexpensive Christmas gifts,
take stock of the remnant bag and but

dress accessories. You will be surprised
at the latest combinations of lace, net,
ribbon, odd buttons, bits of fringe, tas

portant role in both day and evening
clothes. hole dresses are shown in

geranium pink and an orange, but the
best effects are secured by combining
it with other colors, notably London

For young girls, under 14, wash
frocks remain popular for Christmas
parties and, there, is nothing prettier
for the angnlar figure than the double
flounce design shown in Figure D. Thta
could also be developed in cashmere,

lace or velvet ribbons.

Good Form in Gifts
for Christmas
GOOD form and bad in Christmas
giving!
. You never thought of It in Just
that light?
Well, then, think of it now because
the thought may save you heartache
later. Many a pleasant friendship has
been broken by ignorance of good form
in gift-making. Many a social career
has been nipped in the bud by a pres
ent, illy chosen or wrongly sent.
Perhaps you have always thought
that Christmas sentiment justified any
gift, large or small, but you are mis
taken, and, believe me, the average
American is apt to err on the side of
generosity. More III feeling can- be
caused by a too pretentious gift than
' a too humble one.
For Instance, there is the wealthy
friend of your family, to whom you
brought letters of introduction when
you came to town. She has not taken
you into the bosom of her family, but
occasionally at her very large and gen
eral functions she has entertained you.
Appreciating this and hoping for fu
ture favors (what is the use of deny
ing that we all hope for a continuance
of good times and social attentions?)
you scrape and save and study the
shops to get the very biggest showing
for your money, and send it to your
social good angel.
You choose something perfectly gor
geous or her dressing table, a silver
creation in a plush box. It look's very
splendid in the Bhop or on the chiffon
ier of your hall bedroom. But later
you learn that your good angel has
one of those new Ivory toilet sets
which your silver trinket does not
match!
,Or you select a gorgeously ebmrol-
dered table cover or cushion-top. only
to learn that she detests embroidered
linen and is going in far leather fit
tings or arts and crafts weaves.
Either way, your gift is beyond your
income and below her needs. Be sen
sible. Show your knowledge of good
form at Christmas time and send her
a beautiful flower on Christmas morn
ing, with a well-worded greeting, or
the very newest book about which her
world is Burely talking.
Again, you may have some real
friend whose purse is large and pleth
oric. No doubt she will give you some
thing very lovely, the cost of which
will be double or triple your weekly
Income. Do not try to" keep pace with
her in Christmas giving, nor yet send
an apology. But do select something
that is sure to show that you think of
he and her fads. Make your gift very
personal.
If you are rich, and you have some
friend who has not only lost her money
hut is extremely sensitive to boot, be
very careful that your gift does not
reflect your knowledge of her financial
straits. Do not .send the obviously sen
sible thing. Remember' that somehow
she will manage to buy the necessary
thing, while her heart still hungers for
the dainty, the luxurious touches of
life.
Girls who -work for your living, do
not give anything to your men em
ployers. They will either be frankly
amused or provoked. The -masculine
attitude toward Christmas is peculiar.
The men give to the One Woman be
fore marriage and wife and children
after marriage and are content.
Girls, either in business or at home,
do not give expensive gifts to men.
even when engaged to them. To your
fiance give something that will show
your knowledge of his real self. If he
has a fad, encourage It. Fads are
healthy. To the camera fiend, any
thing connected with his photographic
work will be welcome. The bookworm
will like books and desk and study
fittings. The athletic chap likes good
prints, gay cushions for his den. etc.
But give no man jewelry until you are
married to him.
If a man's attentions have justified
you in deciding that his attentions are
matrimonial, this is no excuse for send
ing him an expensive present Such a
step may ruin your natrlmonlal
chances. He may decide that you are
angling for him, or worse still. that
you have no idea of the vatue of money
and would squander his earnings.
The man s Christmas privileges are
broader. To a girl he likes he can
send almost any impersonal gift, flow
ers, candy, music, books, pictures. To
te girl he hopes to marry, he may
send something more personal, a card
case, purse or umbrella: but not until
he is her acknowledged suitor does he
select Jewelry. And even with our lax
social relations today, no girl will ac
cept presents of clothing' from either
suitor or mere friend:
A man-who has been well entertained
by a married woman during the social
Reason may send her, at Christmas,
fiowersv a book or something equally
impersonaj. with a note which shows
very clearly that he Is paying the debt
of guest to hostess with real pleasure.
And finally, do up your Christmas
parcels with exquisite care. A sloppily
tied and 'wrapped gift is an Insult to
its recipient. Every trace of price-)
mark must be removed. Always send
gifts by messenger or mall, never de
liver them in person.

out into society would follow the recipe
of the famous beauty, Lilly Langtry, she
would help nature a great deal. The
recipe she gives is "Work, sunshine, ex
ercise, soap and water, plain food, fresh
air and cheerfulness." Simple enough.
The Results of
IN all this 'whirlwind of discussion
of the pros and cons, the ways
and means, of industrial education
throughout the country, there has been
much use of the terms youtli and
young people, but comparatively little
specific mention of girls and young
women. That those interested in the
present movement intend to build on
an elaborate system of industrial edu
cation for our boys and men alone no
serious-minded person has for a mo
ment believed. But some little appre
hension has been felt by those espe
cially Interested In the future of our
working girls that the problem of pro
viding them with a thorough prepara
tion for breadwinning in the1 best of
the trades would become a side issue
instead of a fundamental part of the
general movement.
While parents have not hesitated to
push out Into the mad scramble their
daughters as well as their sons, and
have received toward the support of
their homes the small earnings of the
former as well as those of the latter,
yet apparently the matter of special
trade instruction for their daughters has
been given scant attention by them. These
conditions have been largely respon
sible for the existing feeling that in
dustrial education for women Is not a
critical issue. But judging by the ex
periences of the Boston Trade School
for Girls, when fathers and mothers
realize that educators and philanthro
pists believe in training the hands and
brain of the girls as well as of the
boy, they will prove most enthusiastic
supporters of any attempt to bring
this about. The Boston Trade School
for Girls, successful from the start,
has been literally besieged by mothers
begging to have their daughters put
upon the waiting list, and asking
why there are not more such schools
for girls as there are for boys.
The unfortunate attitude of many
prominent persons, chiefly men, has
been that of benevolent toleration"
of the presence of girls and women in
business and in the trades. That thev
are there and there to remain, they do
not deny; but many reard the wage
earning years of a woman's life as
merely a brief - period a pin-monev
earning period of time to be followed '
in most cases by that, of the house- I
isn't it as far as it goes, and I grant
you it covers a wide field, but there are
other Ills.
For instance, the girl who goes t a
dance is often bothered by "ugly locks
that never will stay in place. These
stray locks at the ears and at the back
of the neck detract from an otherwise
well-groomed girl. Of course, they
should be brushed in place every night
with fifty strokes, but on the night of
the dance a little brilliantlne can be
blushed on them and will go far to

wife. And therefore why should girls
have special training for a few years'
use? One is constantly surprised at
this feeling .on the part of men who
are otherwise broad-minded and far
sighted. Throughout the United States, except
for a few such Isolated schools as the
Manhattan Trade School for Girls and tho
Hebrew Technical School for Girls in New
York City, the Lewis Institute in Chicago,
the Hampton Institute and the Boston
Trade School for Girls, there has been
and still are practically no trade schools
for girls. If the intentions of Superin
tendent Cooley, of Chicago, are cori-ectly
reported, Chicago Is likely soon to have
established one or more so-called "techni
cal high schools" for girls, which will be
an encouraging move in the right direc
tion. With praiseworthy zeal and with the
best of Intentions, Young Women's Chris
tian Associations, settlements and various
charitable enterprises have for many
years been conducting Winter classes in
dressmaking, millinery and sometimes
cooking and nursing. But the object of
these courses has not been to give the
girls the thorough training in any one of
the subjects that would take the place of
an apprenticeship served in an actual
workshop. To secure admittance to these
classes 'one has had only to become a
member of the association or society and
pay the small fees. At least ten different
milliners and dressmakers of Boston were
questioned as to the kind of training they
considered it. desirable for girls to have
received before they came into their
shops. The replies of all were practlcaliy
the same as that of the forewoman of the
suit-making department of one of Bos
ton's most exclusive department stores.
She was not Inclined to argue the ques
tion at all, but declared emphatically: "I
don't want girls who have been to dress
making classes. They haven't learned
anything really useful. I'd rather take
on a bright, ambitious girl who has had
no experience whatever. She is usually
willing to begin at the beginning and
learn according to our methods. The
other girl believes that there Is no need
of beginning with simple seams." Such
remarks did not apply of course to such
instruction as that given by the Boston
Trade School for Girls.
It is not surprising that these evening
classes conducted by philanthropic socle-
mula for a good and simple brilliantine
has recently been published In these
columns, but I will gladly furnish it to
any reader who did not keep it upon
receipt of stamped and self-addressed
envelope.
'Then. too. there is the girl with a per
fect complexion, curly locks and dainty
gowns, but with an ugly streak around
the neck, caused by wearing lush., tisht
collars. To destroy all traces of such a
disfiguring streak about the neck tho fol
lowing lotion should be applied two or
three times a day until it Is bleached
out. First bathe the neck in quite hot
water, and then apply the lotion.
Rose water. 2 ounces: boric acid. 1
dram and distilled witch hazel, 2 ounces.
Since ear-rings have come into vogue
again it brings the ears into much
greater prominence, and the girl who
wants to appear well at night under a
brilliant white light will tint the lobes
of her ears Just a little. Perhaps liquid
rouge Is best for this. It can be ap
plied rather freely as the lobe of a
healthy ear Is often very pink. And
then there is the girl who suffers from
extremely red ears and nose and the one
great remedy for this Is a plain, very
simple diet and exercise which produce
better circulation. The red ear can be
softened in color by rubbing first with
a little cold cream, working it into the
flesh, and then adding a goodly coat of
powder.
And now we have come to the ono
great accessory' of the complexion
powder. Cheap powder is always an
expensive investment. The best is none
too good. so economize on your ii-e
cream sodas and buy a reliable powder
made by a reputable firm about 75
cents or a dollar a box is an avoraco
price. In making a selection of powder
you must match the complexion exactly
and you will find that it comes in threo
or four shades. The pink and white
girl will look ghastly If she buys a
brunette powder, and vice versa. And
remember that it takes time and sumo
sense of the artistic to apply it.
The first step Is to apply cold cream
to the skin and rub it in well, then wipe
off the face with a bit of soft old linen.
The best powder puff is made of lamb's
wool, the down puff Is good for dust
ing over the body not for applying
powder to the face. Go over alt of the
face thoroughly and then have another
puff or soft piece of chamois, and lit
erally work the powder Into the skin
until it takes on a velvety sheen. Lastly
powder the nose once more the noso
will generally stand two coats of powder.
Having applied the powder give some
attention to the eyebrows and lashes.
Make sure that they are free from ail
traces of powder. A tiny brush should
be used, dipped In cologne, and they
should be brushed upward and outward.
An eyebrow brush can be purchased at
t-.ny druggist's.
If the lips are pale and gray looking
a harmless salve can be used, and will
make a girl look 10 years younger.
Liquid rouge is sometimes applied to
the lips but it is not practical as the
moisture of the Hps weakens it so that
the color fades In less than an hour. A
lip salve was published a few weeks
ago.
The young girl Just out In society
should have no reason to use rouge, for
her yeuth and her health should give
her rosy cheeks. Let the tired mothers
put a dash on at night to brighten up
their faces, but the debutante should
get along without it. However, there
are cases where a girl is naturally very
pale and at night under the artificial
light she has shadows on her face, and
such girls should apply a little rouge,
well distributed. I think the most harm
less of all rouge Is the liquid form, but it
certainly will fade quicker than tho
paste. If rouge is applied it should be
done immediately after the cold cream
ha's been rubbed into the skin, and
before the powder is applied. And If
you use it. do so judiciously. Don't put
it on in one perfectly round spot, but
scatter it just as nature does. The girl
with the high cheek bone and hollow
cheeks should apply it low and not up
to the temples, while the girl with 'tho
long thin face should rouge well up on
the cheek bones and over the temple,
trying to give a broader effect.
Have a good light over your dressing
table. Sit down and take plenty of
time and use plenty of common sense
as well as cosmetics. At night when tho
party is over and you are once more
before the mirror, cover the face with
cold cream and take off all traces of
powder, rouge and salves. Then wash
the face in warm water and soap, and
dry thoroughly, and once more apply
cold cream, leaving on a thin coating of
it over night.

ties and institutions have failed to offer
the prospective wage-earner the proper
preparation for earning her living. A suf
ficient foundation in millinery or dress
making cannot be obtained by learning to
trim two or three hats or to make a few
dresses. These institutions have not had
the necessary funds to secure adequate
equipment for such work.
To provide, trade Instruction which shall
be both practical and thorough for girls
as well as for boys is one of the prob
lems of the Massachusetts Commission on
Industrial Education, and because in Mas
sachusetts so little lias been done the
work will seem to proceed slowly. When
the commission was originally appointed
the fact that Mrs. Mary Morton Kehew
was one of Its members Indicated that In
struction for women would receive due
attention. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kehew
was early forced to resign on account of
ill health, but Professor Emily Balch, of
Wellcsley College, who has since been
appointed as the woman member of the
commission, is thoroughly alive to the
needs of the women in the trades. With
such additional talent as Miss Jlorence
Marshall, who has recently,, been appoint
ed by the commission to have charge of
the women's department of the state
work, the commission is well equipped to
carry out its plans for pushing trade in
struction for girls.
Outside of Boston, the Industrial train
ing opportunities for women are confined,
so far as are known, to Cambridge, where
there are evening classes in millinery and
dressmaking; to Taunton, where there is
evening instruction in dressmaking; to
Montague and Northampton, where do
mestic science and dairy courses are open
to women. The instruction In all of these
schools is free. Non-resident students
who wish to attend the courses at Mon
tague or Northampton may also attend
as free pupils the tuition fees being paid
by the towns in which they live.
Along just what lines Miss Marshall
will recommend that industrial instruc
tion for women be made first. It Is too
early to know. But if we may take tho
statements in her report on "Industrial
Training for Women." which was issued
as Bulletin No. 4 in the special publica
tions of the "National Society for the
Promotion of Industrial Education," to
apply to Boston as well as to the country
as a whole, the "needle Industries" are
tho most promising for women. Tlie
